I'm setting up VMWare to provide access to NT for the couple minutes a day where it makes much difference. I've set it up with the host-only emulated network ipmasqueraded/nat'ed to the real network. Everything works, I can browse the web, mount shares, etc, etc. Unfortunately, NT doesn't like not being able to send out broadcasts looking for the domain controller, and to figure out what's out there in terms of filesystems and the like. I'm been trying to setup samba to proxy such things from the emulated private network out to the real network. The latest attempt involved setting the wins server to the broadcast address of the real network, and setting wins proxy to yes. No go. I also tried setting wins enable to yes, again no go. What I need is for samba to catch broadcast packets, and to proxy the request to the broadcast address on the public network, then send the response back to the private network. I've been trying to follow directions from various "Making samba work across subnets" emails, with no luck. Thanks much, scott
